Yuuko-san, thank you for having me as long as you did. I hope I wasn't a burden to you. I'll be sure to come back as often as I can, okay? I enjoy your company a lot!

Kuchiki-san! Maybe you can come over soon and we can make some t-shirts!

I'm sorry, I acted rashly when I left. It gave me a lot of time to think, and with Kabane-san showing up, I think I'm more comfortable coming home. I didn't mean what I said as a threat, please don't keep thinking of it that way. I was only thinking of myself when I left, and how hurt I was by your words to think about how you felt. I thought if I had my Powers, that I'd be able to help you, even if it was just a little bit.

I hope you haven't missed me too much. Ah, I'll make you dinner tonight, okay, and a bento for tomorrow at school? I'm excited to see you again!

I can feel it a little more since Kabane-san arrived, it's not the same as Souichirou-sama, but there's something small blossoming inside of me. I fell back in who I used to be, saying that I needed the Dragon's Eye to help Roxas-kun, but I don't. In some way, I think that Roxas-kun will just be happy to have me there to support him. I might not be the same as his friend, Namine-san, but I want to do all I can. I don't need the Dragon's Eye. I'd like to see more about this world, and where it's going; I'd like to see when my final "piece" is arriving, and when Roxas-kun will find peace, himself. I have a feeling, though, that if I looked into that, that I'd see something different. Maybe it's more like a "Piece" broken off from someone else's Fate. I don't think Roxas-kun is complete.

I'll keep waiting for Souichirou-sama, no matter how long it takes. I'll become a strong woman, and look over Kabane-san until Shoujou-san arrives! I'll keep having small talks with Yuuko-san and Kuchiki-san; and I'll help Andrew-kun and Jonathan-kun as much as I can. Maybe in this place, my life will be better until I can use the Dragon's Eye. Maybe this is part of my "Fate."

I'll see you soon, Souichirou-sama. I'm here so you won't be alone when you arrive. I promise that when you come, that I'll be ready, and I'll take care of you. I'll make sure that you're happy here, in this world without a War, without Souhaku, and without anyone trying to break the bonds that we've created. When I think of you, my breath still speeds up, and my heart still swells up in my chest. I'll make good friends with Kabane-san, and we'll all go out to lunch when you arrive, Souichirou-sama, I promise.

that's awesome! I um didn't have a power but I really miss magic, I don't think that's coming back though.

um. a little.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

Magic? I'd like if you could tell me about it sometime! I've found that my power is a lot different than a lot of other people's here. It doesn't work in the same way.

Thank you, but you don't have to worry about me anymore. I promise, I'm fine.

[magicbone]

I um wasn't really great at it or anything, not like this girl I went to school with, but it was fun. how is it different? um. if you don't mind me asking.

okay. sorry. it's kind of what I do.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

I didn't know you knew something that like!

Well... The "Powers" of the Red Feather Families... They come from what we call "Dragon Gates." They're placed in different areas of the body, and everyone has them. Some people have the ability to open those gates. Mine is in the middle of my forehead, it's called the "Dragon's Eye."

[magicbone]

that's really cool! um I bet we could totally trade stories all day about this sort of stuff.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

I guess I do have a lot of stories. It's funny, really, it's only been in the last few months of my life.

[magicbone]

um I wouldn't mind hearing them if you ever want to talk to someone who wasn't there for it. and yeah I totally get that. I mean stuff happened before, but the few months before I got pulled through to here were so insane. stuff changes really fast, it's weird to think about.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised someone wants to hear them. Ah, maybe one day! The same goes for you, but... I guess if I get my Power back, I won't really need to hear stories...

[magicbone]

I like stories! um, is your power telepathy?

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

Kind of. It goes a little farther than that. I can see lots of things, not just thoughts - events, people, places, spirits, thoughts. I'm sure there are things that I haven't even touched yet.

[magicbone]

oh wow. um. so like omniscience? that must be hard.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

It drove my older brother crazy.

[magicbone]

I'm sorry.

um I'm also sorry if I'm asking too many questions but I'm curious. you don't have to answer, it's okay. but um, do you like it? knowing things about people without talking to them. Andrew and Warren and I used to try to figure out what super powers we wanted because um, we're really cool? and omniscience just always sounded really hard to me.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

Well, I...

I can't say for sure. I don't know if I like it. When I was more inexperienced, it used to go on without me being able to control it. It causes a lot of problems. People who want to use it, people who are used because of it, people who's lives are torn apart, and me, who has the responsibility to keep it safe.

I've thought about this a lot. It makes things clear, and though it's caused a lot of pain in difference senses, I can't imagine myself without it. It's been a little difficult for me because all of the Dragon Gates of the Red Feather Families are linked, and cause a "Resonance Effect." My powers get greater when other people linked to me are closer. I was wondering, maybe, if the people of this world were thinking the same thing when they called us here. Like an experiment to check the Resonance Effect of all the people from different worlds. But the more I think about it, the more I don't think so...

[ Filter : Aya ]

[magicbone]

um if this is hard you don't have to talk about it. really. I get that. also the resonance thing makes sense, at least to me. um it's a little scary though. like if everyone from your world showed up, or I guess mine, then would things go all haywire. or um, something.

but wow. I guess I get that? I mean it's a part of you, maybe you don't always have to like it but um, there's nothing you can do about it so you learn to live with it. or something. but um, I know I don't really know you really really well but you don't seem like the kind of person to, you know, use your powers for evil or anything. which is, um, I admire that. slkfskj if that doesn't sound weird.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

It's not that it's difficult, but I still don't know how much information that I can give comfortably...

I guess people can be here that I don't know about. I've been having a little trouble lately...

Ah! Do you? In my world, there was a whole war going on over the Resonance Effect and... well... If you see a man named "Souhaku Kago," please let me know as soon as you can. I'd like to think that I could feel his presence, or that Hirohiko-san can smell him, but I don't want to take any chances.

Ah... really... Good and evil, it's very hard to tell the difference. I need to be strong for someone, and that's what I've used my Power for. To become a stronger woman!

[ Filter : Aya ]

[magicbone]

well um. I won't tell anyone of course.

was he a villain? but um yeah, I'll add him to my list of people I'm watching out for. there's so many. it's scary to think anyone could come in at any time.



yeah um. the fine line or whatever. we're familiar with that. but sflkj not the point, anyway that's good! um, that's a good reason. I think so at least. I think um, fighting for yourself is kind of pointless I think? or just. too selfish. I don't know, but I think that's a good reason to use your power.

[ Filter: Jonathan-kun ]

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

I hope he doesn't show up. I don't know if I like or dislike there not being a war, but I don't want there to be pointless deaths.

Fighting for yourself? Though... I think it's essential to fight for yourself if you're going to fight for someone else. When I just fought for Souichirou-sama, I wasn't as strong as I was, I realized that I had to fight for myself too, and when I did, I believed in myself a little more. It might be selfish, but I think we all have to be a little selfish sometimes, too.

Maybe you should sign up for kung-fu, Jonathan-kun!

[ Filter : Aya ]

[magicbone]

believe me, I understand that.

I guess um. it's really hard to talk about but um it's just easier for me to believe in other people. not that I even fight that much to begin with but when I do, it's really. not for me. I don't know, it's complicated, um I can't explain myself very well. sorry.

slkfjsk you're funny, Aya. that's more like Andrew's thing. and I still can't really move well enough to do stuff like that.

but you take it right?

[ Filter: Jonathan-kun ]

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

I think I understand. When I get my Powers back, I would like if you'd let me understand.

Mm! I think it'd help a lot, Jonathan-kun.

[ Filter : Aya ]

[magicbone]

um. okay. if you really want to. all the screwed up stuff might not be fun but um, if you'd like.

it probably would help but I can't. really. um, knife wound and all, doesn't really lend well to that sort of stuff! is there a blonde girl in your class?

[ Filter: Jonathan-kun ]

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

It usually isn't, but... it might be nice knowing someone understands.

Oh! Yes! But when you heal up, it'll make you stronger. Ah, there is, are you talking about Summers-san?

[ Filter : Aya ]

[magicbone]

that's true. um, I could just tell you the stuff, you know. you don't have to get in my head or whatever.

okay, I'll um keep it in mind but I'm not promising anything.



yeah. I am. Buffy. this is a weird question, but is she okay? not um with the fighting, just. does she seem like she's doing well?

[ Filter: Jonathan-kun ]

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

Ah, I just thought about it because you were said you were bad about explaining things! Whatever way you're most comfortable with, but it would be nice to get to know you better. I want to make a lot of friends.

Maybe you could even come watch! Then you can see how Summers-san is doing! She seemed okay from what I saw, but I've only seen her a few times, so I don't know what kind of person she is...
